About Closeup Views

HP Hub & Switch Management provides direct access to HP hub, bridge, and switch management for devices that are not manageable with a Web browser through graphical control panels, or Closeup Views. If you have switching hubs, you can also use the Closeup View to create and modify segments in your network.

A Closeup View is an interactive, visual display of a device. You can use the Closeup View to obtain device status, and run Hub & Switch Management command functions through push-button icons and menus. There is a Closeup View for most HP managed devices.

There will be differences in the available function icons depending on the device type. Icons for functions that are not available for some devices will either not be selectable (grayed out) or will not appear. Also, menu options launched from icons that are not available for some devices either will not appear, or if they appear, they will not be selectable. For information on device management functions for any particular device, refer to the online help in the Closeup View.

For HP AdvanceStack hubs, Closeup Views are available for managing all hubs on a Distributed Management Chain. Closeup Views for chained hubs that are without SNMP modules are accessed through the appropriate SNMP-based hub’s Closeup View. Functions that are not available for chained hubs will not be selectable.
